Last year, the former Fugees singer pleaded guilty to owing $1.8 million in taxes, but leading up to her trial continuously painted herself as the victim of a corrupt system. Days before Hill was set to be sentenced, she signed a deal with Sony, which may have enabled her to pay about $900,000 of her IRS debt in the hours before her court appearance. But it didn’t seem to sway the judge — in addition to the prison sentence, she was also given three months on house arrest followed by nine months on supervised release.
